Pete Greig - Full Interview

With family links back to revival in twentieth-century Scotland, Pete Greig is the Senior Pastor of Emmaus Rd church, Guildford, in Surrey, England.
But he also describes himself as the “bewildered" founder of 24-7 Prayer, an international, inter-denominational movement of prayer, mission and justice operating in more than 100 nations.
A popular writer, Pete’s earlier books Red Moon Rising and Dirty Glory describes his odyssey in mobilising young people into intercession and evangelism and becoming inspired by the founder of an earlier 24/7 Prayer Movement, Count Zinzendorf of Herrnhut.
Pete's recent memoir, God on Mute, which describes the crisis of faith when his wife Sammy was diagnosed with a brain tumour, is considered ‘a Christian classic’ by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby.
